Sherman Replacement Quarter Panels Are Rubbish


2023, November 14

Hello all,

Does anyone knows of a company currently making quality replacement rear quarters for the '66? And if so, whom might they be?

I ordered some from Rock Auto, they were Sherman quarters and quite frankly they are rubbish. The stamping on the wheel arch is not like the factory and you wont be able to use the factory wheel arch trim if you transplant these arches onto the car.

I am anything but impressed sadly. For a minute I thought they sent the wrong ones.... But they didn't...

It seems most places just sell Shermans.

Here's some pics of my dilemma, the draw on the wheel arch is wrong. There's not a wide enough flat area to mount the wheel house molding. Not to mention the draw that was done was not smooth and if I were going to use them I'd spend a few hours on each with a hammer and dolly smoothing them out.

Hmmm, the rear quarters on the 4dr are starting to look appealing...
